One of the big fixes that is upcoming is notifications. We've got thousands of "active" project/contracts in CARS that we're busy assigning roles to. If you have attended training, one thing I've always reminded you was that when you submit an invoice into CARS, you need to email the project manager to alert them of the invoice. You still need to do this.
In the meantime, we're busy assigning who will be notified and who will be approving each and every one of those invoices when they come in. We're also busy working on notifications for you. For instance, if an invoice is paid, everyone who was part of the invoice (primes and subs) will be notified via email. If you don't have someone with the notification role for the particular project, the administrator for your firm will get the email. There are a bunch of different notifications we are working on for you.
For now, continue to email your PM when you send in an invoice. I will make sure to keep you up to date on when notifications are working in CARS. I'll also make sure to email the vendor administrators of this change as well.
Another thing we're working on is some XML documentation. While our solution is not the one button fixes all approach, it could operate as a work around. Look for that update in the manual sometime next week.
Finally, there are a lot of invoices coming and going in CARS. I feel like I'm getting a lot of questions, which is great, but I'm monitoring CARS all day to see a lot of invoices getting submitted and paid. I feel like there's a lot happening behind my back, which is really neat.
